AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Two nice mortars with pestles; I’m unsure whether they’re brass or bronze. That doesn’t take away from how nice they are—the patina makes them very decorative for the enthusiast. Easy to polish to a shine for those who prefer that. The large one weighs 1650 g and the small one 700 g.

The dimensions of the large one are 11 cm high, 15 cm wide and 11 cm deep.

The dimensions are those of the small size: 8 cm high, 8 cm wide and 8 cm deep.

Large stamp, 19 cm x 2.5 cm

Stamp, small 14 cm x 2 cm
